Question NW1915 to the Minister of Transport
14 June 2023 - NW1915
Mokgotho, Ms SM to ask the Minister of Transport
By which date is it envisaged that the R70 road between Senekal and Ficksburg will be repaired, as it is riddled with potholes?
Reply:
The matter was referred to the Free State Department of Community Safety, Roads and Transport, since this road falls under their area of jurisdiction, who have indicated that:
a) Delays were experienced for immediate repairs due a lack of resources
b) The planned intervention is the inclusion of the road on the Departmental Business Plan over the 2023/24 MTEF. Specifications have already been drafted and will be presented to relevant structures by end of May 2023, in an effort to kick-start the process of advertising for a contractor to fix and repair the two separate roads: i.e. Senekal – Rosendal and Rosendal – Ficksburg.
